Time Out says

Celebrate America’s 250th anniversary on July 4th at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum with a star-studded concert headlined by alt-rockers the Smashing Pumpkins and country powerhouse Chris Stapleton, hosted by the iconic Queen Latifah. This historic, charitable event kicks off at 3pm with a pre-event Block Party Village featuring free food, drinks and giveaways, followed by the main concert at 6pm, which culminates in a spectacular fireworks and drone show. Tickets are a symbolic steal at just $17.76, with 5,000 free tickets donated to local first responders and veterans. All ticket proceeds benefit Feeding America, and out-of-town fans can catch the entire celebration livestreamed on the official America250 app. (Note: The event is presented by America250—the nonpartisan nonprofit established by Congress under the Obama administration—which is distinct from D.C.’s Freedom 250.)
